The thing that made Lambie's CC final was the drop. For the rest he had a perfectly ordinary game, with poor goal kicking. So Morne stays to do the place kicking, but Lambie is at 15 from where he and Morne can be dual drop kicking threats if necessary. Meyer may be looking to a "de Beer" strategy.

I suspect that Lambie will start the game at 15 but finish at 10. Lambie does have a good field kicking game which will help the boks win the territory battle and he is also safe under the high ball.
Kirchner was solid under the high ball last year and had a decent kicking game, for all his other faults. This year Kirchner has been decent with ball in hand but poor in the other facets of fullback play.
Willie will probably come on the 2nd half and Lambie will go to 10, with Morne leaving the field. (At leas this is what I hope happens)

I hope Morne goes off early in the second half....that will only happen if we are up by twenty points.

I was hoping Steyn would not be there at all - he would through poor defence and option taking give away 20 points or thereabouts  - like he did by half-time in the Ellis Park test  - and the battle will be lost.   Bloody bad choice by Meyer in this case.

Yeah good old Morne with his 60% win record for the Boks.

Lambie should have started at 10 with Willie starting at 15 - such an obvious selection
